Hey everyone! I'm JJ. It's Summer which means I finally have time to eat lunch. I'm naturally a picky eater and my decision to transition into a vegetarian lifestyle may seem like it would narrow my food options even more, but eliminating animal flesh from my diet actually opened my taste buds up to a whole new world of foods and flavors! Now I'm no talented cook, but I do enjoy cooking and what's easier to cook than lunch (besides breakfast)? After discovering this blog --->http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com I was inspired to share my creative lunch ideas with other lunch-eaters. Perhaps other vegetarians can get ideas from my blog, but really anyone could make these meals. I hope my blog is helpfull, and if you would like to request a recipe or ask any questions, feel free to contact me.
Hoison Tofu With Rice, Pickle/Carrot Kabobs, and Blueberry/Grapefruit Salad
Today, I made a really simple and healthy lunch. I only used seven ingredients that you probably have in your own kitchen. First, I wrapped a 4"x4" portion of firm tofu in a paper towel to absorb some of the moisture. Then I cubed the tofu and marinated it in hoison sauce and fried it in a small pan on a low heat setting. I brought water to a boil in a medium sauce pan and then added the rice. While the rice and tofu were cooking on low heat settings, I cut up a carrot and a pickle and put them on big toothpicks. For the fruit salad, I took a few pieces of grapefruit from a pre-packaged fruit cup and stuck a few blueberries on top and TA DA! It's very easy to make, vegetarian and vegan friendly, and it's super yummy! I'll definitely make this one again!
